easy black & white card backgrounds + pretty pink posh blog hop day 3

Pretty Pink Posh has spring covered with their adorable new release and I'm thrilled to be joining in day 3 of the PPP May release hop!

Before I show you want I made, there's more fun! There are 3 $30 gift certificates to Pretty Pink Posh up for grabs! Enter to win by leaving comments along the hop by 11:59pm PST of May 8th, 2022. The winners will be announced on the PPP blog.

Now let me show you the easy black & white background cards I made!

Sometimes critters...like these sweet birds from the A Little Birdie set...are so cute they don't need much!


I used the branch & birdhouse from the Spring Birdhouse set stamped just in black on white cards to create an easy background for the little birds that I stamped, die cut and colored with Copics.


I also added a few music notes on the birdhouse with the Just A Note set and a little faux black splatter (with a pen) on both cards. What do you think?

Your next stop on the hop is Leica Palma's blog and I know she's going to make something fantastic!!! And here's the whole hop list if you need it...


Thanks so much for hopping with us! Hugs!!!
Carly

I love your black and white cards, Carly! There used to be a challenge called Black & White with a Splash, and it was always one of my favorites. Pinning these for future inspiration - thank you!
